Although
it is quite normal for dogs and puppies to bark, it can become quite
annoying if it happening all the time, dogs bark just like people speak.
Although some dogs have specific behavior patterns that make them more
likely to bark and guard, like the German Shepherd, a bored dog that
has little stimulation is more likely to bark.
Here are some general rules to consider
to stop your dog from barking through boredom.
- Firstly check that
there is no medical problem with your pooch.
- Keep your dog
stimulated - with lots of exercise and plenty of toys.
- Keep your dog away
from any windows where he can see people or other dogs passing by.
- Start socializing your
dog or puppy early.
- Distract your dog when
he barks.
- Reward your dog when
he is quiet and ignore him when he barks.

Check
some of the patterns in your dog's behavior to see if he is bored...
- If you get home from
work to see your dog pacing the floor, howling, chewing the furniture,
he is more than likely suffering from dog
separation anxiety and boredom.
- Dog howling, just like
wolves and their cubs who howl for their mum, if your dog is howling he
is doing it because he is trying to get your attention.
- Destruction - Dogs
love chewing, and destroying wallpaper, rugs, carpets etc when they are
under-exercised
and insecure.
- Dogs digging holes? -
this is another sign of a dog who is bored- redirect his attention by a
sand pit.
Start
by leaving your dog in a room for a few minutes and if your dog is not
barking, chewing, digging at the door, or pacing the floor - reward him
with a treat and lots of praise.
Congratulations you have manged to stop dog from barking out of boredom.
